Apart from her lover being a little clingy and her boss being a little abnormal occasionally, Fu Zhiyu feels that her life can be considered impeccable.
In the past, Fu Zhiyu's room was next to his operating room. After working hard for the world consciousness, he could go back in a few steps. It was not so much a room as a resting place after work. It was very simple and had a cold look everywhere.
They didn't care about these things when they lived like that before, but after Xie Ke came back, they felt more and more uncomfortable. Fu Zhiyu felt that they couldn't live like this anymore, so they asked the world consciousness for a place.
The world consciousness disagreed at first, and said reluctantly: "What are you doing? The system space is so big, you can live anywhere you want. I don't care if you live next to the main brain. I can't support you if you ask for this and that!"
"I've done so much work for you, what's wrong with asking for a place? Others get salary and bonuses for their work, but I don't want a penny, and you don't even give me this." Fu Zhiyu didn't understand, "It's not a big deal, it's just something you can do with your hands."
"I don't have hands!"
"This is a metaphor, you can understand it yourself," Fu Zhiyu stretched out his hand towards the void, "Give it to me, I want to build a house."
"I won't!" World Consciousness cheated on the spot, "Who said I didn't give you a reward, didn't Xie Ke?"
"Xie Ke originally belonged to me, so he doesn't count," Fu Zhiyu firmly denied it and continued to reach out, "Hurry up and do it."
World consciousness: "..."
In the end he did it.
What Fu Zhiyu meant by "a piece of land" was actually a separate space that both he and Xie Ke could enter. It was a bit like the personal space of the actor, but much more flexible and changeable than that, a bit like a small world.
Fu Zhiyu is the designer of this small world, where he can build his own house as he pleases.
At the beginning, he made his home look like Xie Ke's villa halfway up the mountain. They had lived there for a long time and had long been accustomed to it, but in addition to this, there was a large area of land outside.
Fu Zhiyu planted flowers and vegetables outside. Although there would be no feeling of hunger in the system space, it was also a very happy experience for the two of them to return home after work, pick some vegetables in the yard, cook a meal together and then eat it slowly.
It should be said that lovers are happy no matter what they do.
After Xie Ke obtained new powers, he indeed had a lot to do.
The world consciousness knows that if you want the horse to run, it also has to eat grass, so it still wants to give the actors some benefits.
Now the team of actors is huge, and actors like Xie Ke who have no origin are already a minority. Since the world consciousness discovered that the people in the world of the book have become vivid, he has begun to select actors from it in large numbers. Some are lured by the benefits given by the world consciousness, and many people voluntarily come here to take risks, such as Lin Yu. He likes this feeling very much. After all, this kind of experience is hard to have in the ordinary world.
As the number of actors increases, not only does the management become more difficult, the Lord God always needs Fu Zhiyu and Xie Ke to help, and they also need more things. Although many actors like this exciting role-playing world, they also need to rest.
The world consciousness intends to open up the free world as a place for the actors to rest, travel, and relax, but the actors are different from the people in the world after all, and the world consciousness is afraid that they will interfere with the development of the free world.
After all, it is still a question of "degree". This "degree" needs to be guaranteed by the formulation of good rules, and Xie Ke is doing this.
When two people work in the same workshop, there is no such thing as separation. Fu Zhiyu and Xie Ke work well together and the work is not difficult. Generally speaking, they live a stable and happy life.
However, Xie Ke's clinginess can be quite troublesome sometimes.
Most of the time, Fu Zhiyu indulged him. He knew that most of Xie Ke's sense of security came from this, and it was normal for lovers to spend more time together. However, he sometimes went too far and Fu Zhiyu got angry.
Putting herself in his shoes, Fu Zhiyu felt that even at the beginning, when she was completely obedient and open-hearted to Xie Ke, she was not so clingy. Lovers are not conjoined twins, there is no need for them to be together all the time.
At the beginning, Xie Ke just wanted to see him. If they didn't see each other for a while, he would feel panic unconsciously. Fu Zhiyu didn't think it was a big deal. The two of them worked and lived together, so it was difficult to separate. He was also willing to get along with Xie Ke. This long-lasting relationship made him feel comfortable.
But when Xie Ke pushed his limits, he felt uncomfortable.
This is the system space. Fu Zhiyu's body is much better than that of ordinary people, but when he wakes up every morning with back pain, he still feels that the world consciousness is biased. At least Xie Ke's physical strength and energy are obviously much better than his.
He actually asked, and the world consciousness replied him: "Xie Ke's body is newly made, and it is still based on the data of his original actor. He has maxed out all aspects. Theoretically, it is indeed better than yours. After all, your body is still from the world in the book. Although it has changed, the foundation is there. But ability is comprehensive, not just physical fitness. Don't worry, if you fight, you can still beat him. If not, I will help you. I love you the most."
"Okay, no need to add the last sentence, it's redundant, you can go now," Fu Zhiyu rubbed his waist, "I'm very tired today, I won't go to work, you can handle it yourself."
World consciousness: "..."
"How about I reinforce you again?" The World Consciousness pondered, "No matter what, don't delay your work..."
"Instead of reinforcing me, you might as well weaken Xie Ke's strength. If he finds out, he'll be even more aggressive," Fu Zhiyu rubbed his waist and couldn't help but rub his frowning brows. "I need to rest. You leave quickly."
"Weaken?" The world consciousness was actually considering, "Should I give it a try?"
Fu Zhiyu: "No, don't touch him. Forget it. I can't count on you. I will handle the matter between us myself."
That night, Xie Ke was driven to live in the study.
Fu Zhiyu's hard-heartedness, which had not appeared for a long time, came into play at this moment. No matter how Xie Ke begged and promised, it was useless.
"Reflect on yourself and see if you dare to torment me like this again in the future," Fu Zhiyu closed the door and locked it, "Hurry up and leave. I want to have a good sleep."
Xie Ke felt very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute anything when Fu Zhiyu was being tough, so he could only go to sleep in the study room in shame.
Fu Zhiyu felt comfortable for several days, but as time went on, he thought about letting Xie Ke come back, since they didn't really want to separate.
These few days were enough for him to reflect clearly.
But when he opened the door of the study, he didn't see Xie Ke.
Did you go out
They seldom use the study room, so apart from some newly added decorations and books, there is nothing else there.
Xie Ke's bed was very clean. Fu Zhiyu took a look and found a strange bulge next to the pillow.
He lifted the pillow and saw a photo album underneath.
Photo album
Fu Zhiyu was a little confused because he had never seen this thing at home.
He opened it and found that all the photos were of himself.
There were all kinds of people, some working with their heads down, some reading, some eating. Many of them were candid shots and they didn’t even realize they were being photographed.
The ones in front are the closest, and the ones in the back are farther away.
There are photos of himself when he was still an actor in that middle-level world, and also photos of him facing the spotlight in a suit at an award ceremony. Going back further, it was when he was still in "Leave a Name in History".
There were times when he was dressed simply, walking around aimlessly on the streets; there were times when he was touching the grown crops in the fields; there were times when he was in the palace, sitting on a swing in the garden and swinging slowly. Fu Zhiyu looked at the photos he had taken long ago and felt a lot of nostalgia.
Come to think of it, it seems like a long time has passed.
This album was arranged in chronological order, but the last photo Fu Zhiyu saw was of himself wearing the red sacrificial attire, sitting on an exquisite sedan chair, tilting his head to look at Xie Ke. That was probably the photo in which he was dressed the most meticulously, and it also fully recorded Fu Zhiyu's extremely handsome face.
This doesn't seem to be a photo, and I don't know what method Xie Ke used to record his own memories in this way.
"Zhiyu?"
At this moment, Xie Ke pushed the door open. After seeing him, he first smiled and then showed him what he was holding.
"I just went out and brought this to our home. There is a new world over there that had some minor problems during the mission, and I helped it solve it. It then used its authority to bring me some small inventions from that world, which can be considered furniture." Xie Ke said, "Shall I show it to you?"
It was actually just a little trick. After it was set up, the ceiling of the room became like the starry sky, within reach. Fu Zhiyu stretched his hand upwards, and the sparkling stars like rice grains slowly flew around him, beautiful like a dream.
"It's quite interesting," Fu Zhiyu smiled, "We can put it in our room and play with it when we have time."
Xie Ke sensitively caught the word "our" room.
Do I no longer have to live in a cold study room
"This can also change modes. It can turn into clouds or something like that. Zhiyu, can I show you?"
"Can it be changed into this?" Fu Zhiyu turned his hand and showed him the photo album.
Xie Ke: “…”
He couldn't figure out what Fu Zhiyu's half-smile meant, but it didn't look like he was angry.
He is now very afraid that Zhiyu will be angry.
"It was captured from my memory. I always felt it lacked authenticity and was afraid I would forget it again, so I used the photo album," he said honestly. "When you were angry a few days ago, I couldn't sleep and couldn't help looking at this."
“Why put this last?”
"This is the one that I remember most vividly. I went to see it secretly at that time." Xie Ke's eyes unconsciously became gentle when he saw that photo. "It was red, and it looked like a wedding dress. You looked pretty, too. But I could only watch from afar."
Xie Ke had already given up hope by then, and just regarded that moment as part of his imagination, thinking about the day when they could really get married, Zhiyu would probably be just that beautiful.
What Xie Ke didn't say to Fu Zhiyu was that when he finally reached the end and was determined to die, he felt that he had no future, and he still remembered that look.
That moment was very important to him. Even though Zhiyu has returned now, the sweetness he still remembered when he felt hopeless will be unforgettable in his life.
